Howard’s FB with a classic downhill, physical profile
Clay Powell profiles as a traditional fullback for Howard, so his value is less about box-score flash and more about adding toughness, short-yardage reliability, and tone-setting physicality in the run game. The available 2025 Howard team data shows a Bison offense that leaned on the ground game but averaged just 3.5 yards per rush, which makes a blocker/lead-back type especially useful in tight situations and red-zone football. Without public stat detail on Powell’s individual production, the strongest case for him is fit: a blue-collar, collision-heavy role player who can help a team win the hidden yards that don’t always show up in stat lines.[1][3]
